pver-worked Judge Of the First district,

The absolute necessity of relief to the
over-worked judge of the First district,
has long been apparent to all, and be-
lieying that Il properly directed effort
would bring about the desired result,
the bar recently met and appointed a
committee to recommend plan Of

committc will recommend the division
of the Hills into two districts, Fall
River, Custer and Pennington counties
constituting one, Lawrence and Butte
the other, each to have IL judge of its
own. Some such arrangement. it is be-
lievcd. will meet the approval of the
authorities if the situation is properly
prcsentcd.-limes.
